The Atlantic Star Ice & Coal Co. originally constructed this imposing structure in 1926 and operated the facility until the late 1960s, as one of Atlanta's largest producers of ice and coal. Braden Fellman Group began construction on this award-winning project in the spring of 1999.
The project carefully incorporates the existing historic structure into a mix of nostalgic rehabilitation and thoughtfully designed new construction that complements the property and the surrounding neighborhood.
This attention to detail led the project to be granted a Design award for Adaptive Reuse from the Decatur Historic Preservation Commission. The buildings feature a variety of studio, one and two bedroom loft homes featuring dramatic architecture and abundant natural light.
A combination of industrial and residential finishes make for unique, practical and beautiful lofts that also offer a great value. Concrete columns, brick with pre-cast architectural elements, steel and wood provide structure and detail in these spaces with 12 to 24 foot ceiling heights.
Finishes such as full overlay, 42" maple cabinetry, cast iron enamel tubs, Kohler fixtures, digital appliances and Italian tile baths set the spaces apart from typical rental product.
Located just blocks from downtown Decatur, it's a short stroll to the Square where you can enjoy a coffee, a pint, some delicious local fare, and live music or you can step downstairs to Carpe Diem Cafe, located in the Ice House Lofts.
Prices range from the upper $700s to $2000 per month for the multilevel units of the former ice storage towers. A fitness center, pool and available garage parking complete an outstanding amenity package.
